The results obtained from the data comparison should be used in the reliability model to evaluate the range of reliability values that the proposed design might be expected to achieve. The conditions associated with each value should be stated (e.g., the necessary reliability programme), and also the extent to which the predicted value depends upon any adjustments made during data comparison. Areas of high risk within the proposed design should be identified. Statements should be made on the nature of the risk and the feasibility of reducing that risk.
